She took a step forward, ignoring the clamor of voices, her clear voice cutting through the noise:
"Lin Wei, have you finished acting this time?"
This cold question was like a bucket of cold water, temporarily silencing the neighbors' noisy discussions.
Her cold gaze slowly swept over the faces of the neighbors who were talking the loudest and whose expressions were the most indignant, and a sarcastic sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, you all believed Lin Wei's few words without any explanation?"
You saw it with your own eyes? She said the clothes were left with her, so they really were?
She said my relationship with my brother is unusual, so it really is unusual? Whatever she says, it's what it is?
She paused, her gaze sharpening as she turned to Lin Wei, who was still wiping away tears, her tone becoming more forceful:
"Comrade Lin Wei! Aren't you an adult? You're not an unemployed person without a workplace or organization, are you?"
I remember you're still a nurse at a military hospital! That's a unit with leadership and discipline!

Hongqi, that kid, is someone many of you have watched grow up, right?
Don't you guys have any idea what kind of person he is?
In your eyes, the son my parents raised is just a spineless, irresponsible scoundrel?!
Her gaze swept over those who had been criticizing most vehemently, and her tone turned somber:
"I won't go into the distant past, but let's talk about a few years ago when Hongqi came back on his first family visit leave."
Back then, in our alley, which family didn't have a child or relative who was of military age and wanted to join the army?
Aunt Li, did your nephew come to ask about the Hongqi physical examination?
Aunt Zhang, did your neighbor's son also have Hongqi help him look at the registration form?
And Brother Wang, your younger brother wants to join the army's truck-driving unit. Did he also come to Hongqi to inquire about driving in the military?
